Describes a new Pleurotomaria (P. tertiaria) from Upper Miocene 

 rocks near Maude, said to be intermediate in form between the two 

 recent species P. Adansoniana and P. Quoyana. In a letter at p. 235, 

 Prof. M'Coy calls attention to the fact that Goldfuss and Deshayes had

The following are the species described : — Squalodon Wilhinsoni, 

 from the Miocene sands of Castle Cove, Cape Otway ; CarcJiarodon 

 angustidens, and C. megalodon, both from the Miocene sands of Bird 

 Bock, near Geelong. Among the Mollusca, we have the gigantic 

 Cyprcea (Aricia) gigas^ exceeding any known Cowrie in size, from the 

 Oligocene clay of Muddy Creek, near Hamilton, and Mornington, near 

 Mt. Eliza, accompanied by C. (Aricia) gastroplax^ from the Oligocene 

 limestone between Mts. Eliza and Martha, Hobson's Bay, Two species 

 oi Trigonia are described: — T. acuticosta, from the Older Pliocene beds 

 of Mordialloc, Hobson's Bay, and U. Miocene beds of Muddy Creek; 

 and T. simiundulata, from the Bird Rock Bluff, near Geelong. A re- 

 markable example of a Victorian Tertiary shell still living off the Cape 

 of Good Hope is Limojpsis BelcJieri, which is figured and described, from 

 the Oligocene clays of Muddy Creek, &c. The European Tertiary 

 species L. aurita, also found in the North Sea and Southern Ocean, like-
